2.2. Chemical Replacement. Rare earth elements are found in strong weathered granites in the form of ions. An NH 4 Cl solution is typically used during the leaching process [22, 23].The rare earth cations adsorbed onto the ore body are replaced by NH 4 +, which has relatively active chemical properties, as shown in Formula [].This strong chemical reaction occurs throughout the leaching process.

A leaching experiment on simulated rare earth ore pillars with uneven grade distribution was conducted because of the readsorption of rare earth elements in the in situ leaching process of ion-adsorption-type rare earth ore. Results show that the readsorption of rare earth elements in the barren layer is the main reason for the decrease in rare earth concentration in the leachate, decrease in ...

The authors make an approach to the metallogenetic enrichment law of ion-absorbed rare-earth mineral and the principle of in-situ leach mining. According to the test,they make an introduction to the technical process of in-situ leach mining of ion-absorbed rareearth mineral. The practical operation has proved that the in-situ leach mining of this type of ore deposits is of many advantages.
